With a drop front design, the 24.25 x 32.25 x 1.5" black Museum Drop Front Box allows easy access to your prints, while a removable lid reduces table space needed during presentation. The interior of the box is lined with a 10-pt. card stock that is acid- and lignin-free. With a depth of 1.5" it can accommodate between 60 to 70 unmounted prints or 10 to 12 matted 4-ply prints. The adhesive used in construction is pH balanced, and the archival box has passed the Photographic Activity Test (PAT), which makes the box suitable for long-term storage.

The Box is made from a museum quality 0.100 Kappa Binder's Board, which is lignin- and acid-free, and the sulfur content has been reduced to <0.0008%. The board has been buffered, which keeps acidity from transferring to the stored materials. The walls of the box and the lid have been double-lined without glue added in between the layers, and the exterior has been covered in a book-binding cloth, including a 100% aqueous acrylic coating, which makes the exterior moisture resistant.

A: This is for a single box at the posted price.

Q: 10. What is the total number of art prints to keep in a single 3 inch deep archival box?

A: Fine art printing papers vary considerably in thickness. Here's an example of how to figure out how many will fit of any given thickness. Find out the thickness of your paper expressed in mils. A mil is 1/1000 of an inch. As an example, Hahnemühle Photo Rag Bright WhitePaper 310GSM, is 19.6 mils thick. 1000 divided by 19.6 = 51. So 51 sheets would be 1" thick. If you fill the Lineco box right to the top you'll get 153 prints in it. Now that's the theoretical maximum. You have to assume that you're not PRESSING these prints in, so they'll take up a little more space. You might have the prints in sleeves for protection. you might be using inter leafing tissue. Anything that increases the actual space taken up by each print reduces your count.
